We’re days into Phase Two and the numbers look good so far.
Today (23 Jun), Singapore reports the lowest number of daily Covid-19 cases in two months.
There are 119 new Covid-19 cases.
The vast majority of the cases are made up of foreign workers residing in dormitories.
There are three community cases: 1 PR and two work pass holders.
This brings the total number of Covid-19 cases in Singapore to 42,432.
Experts ‘Deeply Concerned’ That People Are Mingling in Phase 2 As If There’s No COVID-19
Singapore is less than a week into Phase Two.
And everywhere in Singapore, crowds are forming as people here relish in their newfound freedom.
However, there’s a particular group of people who aren’t too happy with the situation.
Particularly, the experts.
Previously, they predicted that Singapore is ready to enter Phase Two and days later, we really entered Phase Two.
Now, they’re worried that Singapore will enter Phase One, or even Circuit Breaker Mode, if the situation continues.

Pointing out to South Korea, which had eased lockdown measures earlier than Singapore but is now facing a second wave of Covid-19, experts said that the same thing could happen here.
Wearing Masks Doesn’t Mean You’re Safe
All the experts that ST spoke to agreed that mask-wearing is good, but it’s not foolproof.
Covid-19 molecules are “small” enough to be breathed in through the mask, especially with the cloth masks that many people are wearing now, they say.
The best way to avoid infection, they advised, is to avoid large crowds.
So why should we care about what they say?
Well, because in the worst-case scenario, they said that social restrictions might be imposed once again.
In one or two weeks time, we might see a spike in community Covid-19 cases, which could be a warning sign that the healthcare system might be overloaded.
The authorities will then pull on the brakes (read: CB/cooling measures) so that healthcare capacity is allowed to cool down again.
In other words, eating Bak Kut Teh outside and taking a picture of it can land you in jail again.
And I’m pretty sure all of us don’t want that happening.
So let us all relish our freedom but, at the same time, stay safe.
Like a certain wise netizen once said: Dabao 9 times, eat out one time.
